No, only way you're gonna get alcohol, is using a fake license or having a 21+ person get it for you.

Lol im from NYC and I can tell you the best way to get booze if you're under 21 are at these parties that teens throw, they always miraculously have booze every time.

Like everyone else said. Unless you have a fake ID, know someone that sells to minors, or have someone 21+ to buy it for you, you're shit out of luck

Go to some shady bars in Chinatown and be sure to have some $$$ ready at the front door

Need to be 21 to buy any sort of alcohol.

Just remember that any law breaking could see you in trouble next time you want to visit Winky Winky
